<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silverthwait, post: 570610, member: 103&quot;]I have no source to quote on this subject but, an &quot;engagement ring&quot; is specifically given <i>in contemplation of marriage.</i> If the marriage does not take place, the ring is returned.&nbsp; If Mademoiselle is acquisitive she may, however, keep the furs, diamond earrings, the Jag, and all the other rings Monsieur might have presented to her.</p><p><br /></p><p>The English explanation hereunto given&nbsp; (ahem!) makes the whole scene rather dicey.&nbsp; There is no need for him to say anything to her, other than, &quot;This is your engagement ring.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Good manners dictate the rest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
